Fall is here, and I have to admit, this is one of my favorite times of year in Dysart. Harvest is underway, the leaves are starting to change, football season is in full swing, and there’s just something about fall in a small town that’s hard to beat!

It’s also hard to believe we’re already heading into the final few months of 2026.

It’s been a busy year. We’ve welcomed visitors to Dysart for events, supported our local businesses, added new Chamber members, and worked alongside other organizations on projects that continue to make our community better.

One of the biggest changes you may have noticed is our new community welcome signs. This was a partnership between the Dysart Chamber, City of Dysart, and the Beautification Committee, and I love seeing them finally come together. They’re a fresh new welcome for visitors and something our community can be proud of.

But we’re not wrapping up the year just yet!

The 55th Annual Dysart Holiday Bazaar returns Saturday, November 14, at the Dysart Community Building. It’s one of Dysart’s longest-running traditions and a great chance to shop handmade, find some unique Christmas gifts, and support talented makers.

Then, before we know it, Christmas on Main will be here on December 5. It’s always a fun way to kick off the holiday season and bring families together in Dysart.

And while we’re finishing out 2026, we’re already looking ahead to 2027. We’re planning events, talking about new ideas, and continuing to look for ways to support our businesses, our members, and our community.

As we head into the last few months of the year, keep showing up for Dysart. Shop local. Attend an event. Support a fundraiser. Volunteer when you can. It may not seem like much, but those little things really do add up.

That’s how small towns keep moving forward, and Dysart has plenty of people willing to help make it happen. Hope to see you around town!
